This has always been my fav rendition of Malaguena. In my teens I played the accordion and I had the sheet music to this exact song and the Boston Pops record also. I would go up to my bedroom, put on the recording at full volume and blast along with it on my accordion! lol Thanks for posting this.
Don't want to get maudlin, but... Today's my birthday. The last time, I heard this exact recording was about 60 years ago. It has always been my favorite piece of music and favorite recording and I thought I'd never hear it again. Fantastic birthday present. One of the best I'd ever gotten. Thank you.
Wonderful. I am looking for a recording of Malaguena that comes from an album called "Bullfight!". I remember there being castanets and a few sounds that imitated a live recording in the stadium, however I doubt that was the case. The sound quality was fabulous. I sure would appreciate any help locating this record.
I remember in the late or mid 40's that Boston Pops Orchestra made a record 10 inch 45 rpm of Jealousie backed with Ritual fire dance. Just wondering if you heard of it or have it. My sister sat on it and that is history of the record.
Originally the sixth movement of the Suite Andalucia by Ernesto Lecuona, who also provided it with Spanish lyrics, the song "Malagueña" has since become a popular, jazz, marching band, and drum corps standard and has been provided with lyrics in several languages.
My grandad had this record and played it for me when I was a kid. I loved it then and now. It's the best version of Malguena I've ever heard. I wonder if it's on DVD now. I'll have to check.
Andre Kostelanetz and his Orchestra did it better.
